Let's talk about movies! Join us for a screening of Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe (2023, PG-13).
Based on the best-selling YA novel of the same name by Benjamin Alire Sáenz the film centers on the friendship between two teenage Mexican-American loners in 1987 El Paso who explore a new, unusual friendship and the magical road to self-discovery.
A less sentimental, wish-fulfilling approach to Mexican American identity, gay self-discovery and Reagan-era Texas will wait for another day. Until then, fans of “Heartstopper”-style slow-burn romance will eat up this tender film’s subtle charms. -Erik Piepenburg, New York Times
After the movie we'll have time for a discussion and the group will select what to watch next month. There will be popcorn and snacks!
